Your website must work for everyone. WCAG 2.1 is the global standard for web accessibility. It helps people with sight, hearing, or movement disabilities.

There are three levels:

• Level A: Basic needs.
• Level AA: The legal standard.
• Level AAA: The highest level.

POUR rules guide the standard:

• Perceivable: Users see or hear the content.
• Operable: Users use a keyboard or other tools.
• Understandable: The site is clear and logical.
• Robust: The code works with screen readers.

Law is changing:

• Public sector: Must use Level AA now.
• Private business: European law requires accessibility by June 2025.
• It includes online stores, banks, and transport services.

Most sites fail:

• 96% of top websites have errors.
• Only 4% meet the minimum standard.

Common errors:

• Low text contrast.
• Missing image descriptions.
• Bad buttons.

Do these simple things:

• Add alt text to images.
• Use clear labels for forms.
• Add subtitles to videos.
• Make keyboard focus visible.
